  Hello To Everyone! I'm new here...

  it has been a cycle of being a full fledge witness then reverting to a state of total inactivity for my family and i. we do awesome for a month or 2, then we're missing in action for another 6 months.. where i am breaking this cycle, i say no more, my husband who was raised in the 'truth', remains inactive yet devote in heart.

  i respect that.

  this is all he's ever known.. however, i was raised a good little mormon girl, left one church claiming to be the only true religion, i know i can do this too.

  Another lawsuit... this one in Oregon.

  by Elsewhere in

  complaint: negligence, breach of confidential relationship, intentional infliction of severe emotional distress.

  once again the elders appointed a convicted and confessed child molester to a position of responsibility as an officer and ministerial servant of the congregation.

  this time the accused name is jerry anderson crabb of the lancaster congregation of jehovah's witnesses - 4795 macleay road se, salem, or 97301. sadly, as one would expect, he has been accused of sexually abusing a child on multiple occasions.

  I hope more JW's find the strength to file lawsuits......

  Appointing a known pedophile to a position is just "wrong"...period.

  IF they were actually following Jesus example, no one would get baptized till they were 29.

  Insensitive talk assignments

  by Steve Lowry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i once was assigned a talk on masturbation when i was about fifteen or so.

  the theme of the talk was to discourage masturbating (actually to forbid the practice), as it was considered by the society a no no.

  looking back on it, it offends me to this day that they would give a kid such a sensitive and embarrassing talk assignment like that.

  When I was 16 I was assigned that masterbation talk from the "Young People Ask".... I too was horrified. My Mom was dead and never discussed anything about sex with me. I told the sister that studied with us (since I was 4) that I was assigned the talk and she said: "what are they doing giving that talk to you? I will give it for you". Got out of that one quick!!!

  Then when I was divorced....there was a talk about divorce. Guess who was assigned it? Me. I called up the school overseer and refused to do it and didn't go to the meeting that night. He said: "the divorce wasn't your fault". I said: "I know but I don't feel comfortable giving a talk". I thought he was very insensitive to my situation.

  (((Sirona)))

  I feel for you

  I have had a lot of losses in my life from a very early age.

  Grieving is very personal......I agree with Blondie....the fact it is persisting might mean a trip to your family doctor.

  Then I read about your sweet dog you raised from a puppy and are thinking you can't take care of it and it is ripping you apart.

  I was in that situation because someone suggested I sell MY dog with a huge move recently. In the last year I had worked away from home with my spouse and my poor little dog had to be watched a lot. This person reasoned it wasn't fair to the DOG to live like that

  As soon as I sold my dog, I felt like I had given up my child. It has been almost 4 months and I ache about that decision. I am grieving deeply. (sounds stupid but that puppy was my anchor when my husband worked a lot away from home)

  I like the idea someone gave you......keep your dog and ask for a responsible person in your neighborhood...like a 12 year old to help out.

  take care...
